Pomeroy Crowned Princess of Porc at Cochon 555

1,200 pounds of pork later, Beast's Naomi Pomeroy was crowned the winner at last night's Cochon 555 cooking competition, which rolled into town once again to celebrate heritage breed pigs and give folks a worthy excuse to eat a shit-ton of pork and drink bourbon. Pomeroy bested follow chefs Vitaly Paley (Paley's Place), Adam Sappington (The Country Cat), Jason Barikowski (The Woodsman Tavern), and Rita Jia You (Lucky Strike) for the right to rep Portland in the "Grand Cochon" event later this year in Aspen.
